Version 1.15.0+dfsg-2 of pcl is marked for autoremoval from testing on Thu 20 Nov 2025. It is affected by #1117519. The removal of pcl will also cause the removal of (transitive) reverse dependencies: ros-metapackages, ros-perception-pcl. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.
Among the 3 debian patches
available in version 1.15.0+dfsg-3 of the package,
we noticed the following issues:
3 patches
where the metadata indicates that the patch has not yet been forwarded

metadata to document its real status.
1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
CVE-2024-53432:
(needs triaging)
While parsing certain malformed PLY files, PCL version 1.14.1 crashes due to an uncaught std::out_of_range exception in PCLPointCloud2::at. This issue could potentially be exploited to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack when processing untrusted PLY files.
Standards version of the package is outdated.
wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy
(Standards-Version 4.7.2 instead of
4.7.1).
testing migrations
This package is part of the ongoing testing transition known as auto-vtk9.
Please avoid uploads unrelated to this transition, they would
likely delay it and require supplementary work from the release
managers. On the other hand, if your package has problems
preventing it to migrate to testing, please fix them
as soon as possible.
You can probably find supplementary information in the
debian-release
archives or in the corresponding
release.debian.org
bug.
